Person Familiar Cites Paulson Tensions With German Min

A person familiar with the decision said Paulson's planned absence, in part, reflects tensions in his relationship with German Finance Minister Peer Steinbrueck, who skipped the April meeting of the Group of Seven finance ministers in Washington in favor of a family vacation to Namibia.

The implication is that, if 400 years of candlesticks make a difference, these pairs will not complete their profiles without tests of the recent lows. That does not signify a turn of trend merely a test of trend...for now.

USDJPY opened the week at 120.12 it looks to close within 5 pips. The formation on weeklys is intersting among candlestick watchers. Similarly formations on other crosses appear to be growing candles od similar although not as prominant interest.

Thx mike...I've almost got the bugs worked out of the auto-gain version (which seems to be working really well on 1 day averages on the hourlies or less); I'll post it (I hope) this weekend if anyone wants to play around with it. It's a lot easier to use than the standard KF version, and probably better for catching in/out signals...

12:52 Follow Up: U.S., Germans fear imminent terror attack - ABCNews.com

ABCNews.com reports that U.S. and German officials fear terrorists are in the advanced planning stages of an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany. Law enforcement officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com that U.S. air marshals have been diverted to provide expanded protection of flights between Germany and the United States. "The information behind the threat is very real," a senior U.S. official told ABC News. German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble told reporters, "The danger level is high. We are part of the global threat by Islamist terrorism." Of particular concern, according to U.S. and German law enforcement officials, is Patch Barracks, the headquarters for U.S. European Command, near Stuttgart. Security at all U.S. military and diplomatic facilities has been increased in the last month following reports that suspected terrorists had conducted surveillance of the Patch Barracks facility. "The attack would be designed to create high numbers of casualties among both Germans and the U.S. military," said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, a former White House counterterror official.

hk ab 15:23 GMT, I have revised my trading strategy to take profit at critical support/resistance with trailing stop for all trading after reading Martin's post several days ago.
Lucky closed half of my short AUD, Cable positions this Asian opening (another half got stop at b/e) and long USD/CAD positions at 1.1158. Now only hold short USD/JPY at 120.06.
Looking at charts of almost all pairs, it's still USD bullish (except JPY). Let's see today/this weekly close to decide next direction.

Sofia Kaprikorn 15:32 GMT - Carry Trade is back and NZDYEN has been recovered yesterday lost. Gordon Brown has been announced to run for PM and it should be no problem at all as expected many months ago. GBPUSD will be back to 2.0000 level and above it. Watch the level of 1.9842 of GBPUSD. If it breaks, the down trend of GBPUSD is over. EURYEN may catch up the carry and see 163 of yesterday level again. Good luck friend.

So far GBP/JPY has stalled at the .618 retrace level. As a wave 1 it could retrace althe way back to the start. Not nice...really not lol.

The shares ticked up overnight in Australia, where the miner has a dual-listing. It was aided by talk that venture capitalists could become involved too, and that even billionaire Warren Buffett could take a holding in the miner.

who needs FX when we have Wine Funds ?
May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Eight years ago, I realized that the case of the scarce 1982 Chateau Lafleur Bordeaux I was hoarding in my cellar was simply too valuable to drink. I'd bought the wine before it was even bottled, as futures, for $350, and I unloaded it for enough money to purchase a car. In March, it was trading for more than $40,000. Maybe I should have waited.

Alex 11:37 / Bernanke is on record that "...The factors underlying the U.S. current account deficit are likely to unwind only gradually, however. Thus, we probably have little choice except to be patient as we work to create the conditions in which a greater share of global saving can be redirected away from the United States and toward the rest of the world--particularly the developing nations..." (April 14, 2005)

I have dis-agreed with Ben about "little choice" having pointed out on numerous occasions that a US R ecession (causing the US consumer to put back his wallet) is a viable tactic. Watching the FED printing speed of fiats AND the tilt of battle of control of market's money supply through credit co-generation of "money" are probably telling indicators.

7:18  Greenspan sounds bearish on economy
Former Fed Chairman Greenspan said overnight in Singapore that there is no doubt that a slowdown is occurring in the US. Housing a significant drag on economy. US has problems in capital investment and potential problems with consumptions. On the other hand, he says stronger Asian growth to offset weaker exports and the odds against a US recession are still 2 to 1. And global growth to offset any US slowdown. IDEA: These comments have helped boost Treasuries and Bunds, as has equity market weakness yesterday.

China Eases Investment Caps, Lets Banks Buy Overseas (Update2)

By Luo Jun and Zhao Yidi

May 11 (Bloomberg) -- China will allow the country's commercial banks to buy stocks abroad, in a move that may release some of the nation's 35 trillion yuan ($4.6 trillion) of savings on overseas equity markets for the first time.

Chinese commercial banks can invest up to 50 percent of the funds pooled under the so-called qualified domestic institutional investors program, or QDII, in stocks abroad, the China Banking Regulatory Commission said in a statement on its Web site. Investors need to have at least 300,000 yuan to purchase such financial products, the regulator said.

Re Buffett and commodity currency BS-

Speaking at last year's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s (BRKA) annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, Warren Buffett warned that commodity markets have become overheated. Earlier this week, another famed value-oriented fund manager -- Bill Miller -- devoted his quarterly letter to shareholders to the same warning.

Here's the report on Mr Buffett's comments from the Wall Street Journal (paid sub. req'd):

Speculation has also begun to drive commodity markets, Mr. Buffett warned. The price of metals, such as copper, and other commodities like oil, initially climbed on fundamentals, but the gains have now attracted more investors betting on further price gains, he explained.

"What the wise man does at the beginning the fool does at the end," he quipped. "Once a price history develops enough for other people to see it and get envious, that takes over markets. We're seeing that some areas of the commodity markets."

The Berkshire chairman also warned that it could end badly, likening commodity markets to Cinderella at the ball. "At the start of the party, the punch is flowing and everything's going well, but you know at midnight it's all going to turn into pumpkins and mice," he said. "People think they'll be able to get out just before midnight, but everyone else thinks that too."

"The problem is that, in commodities there are no clocks on the wall," he added. Berkshire mostly avoids commodity speculation because Mr. Buffett said he's "not good at the game of figuring out how far the speculative gains will go."

Re.

Seems Canada fits the bill, at least on the second :).

Don't Forget Currencies When Investing Abroad: Michael R. Sesit

May 11 (Bloomberg) -- Investing outside your home market while ignoring exchange rates may be akin to crossing the street with a blindfold.

For several years, Americans, traditionally a parochial lot, have been making the journey, earning a bundle. While many international equity markets have bested Wall Street by hefty margins, exchange-rate movements -- read weakening dollar --have boosted those returns even more. Click here

I doubt the consensus is long yen and if it appeared they were it is only in the shallow end of the pool (short term speculaters). no offence to day traders.
The geared trade has become a widespread strategy for all from the most sophisticated investors who have used it to buy esoteric high returning assets (like equities and commodities) to those who think a 4% differential is worth beefing up their FX risk. (Even eastern european property investors have been financiaing themselves with foreign borrowings like swissy).

Now USDJPY will have to mount the relative low of 119.78 in order to get to a decent retracement. The price action is suggesting that this will be a grueling slog however.

0843 GMT [Dow Jones] Hedge funds seem to be getting very nervous over carry trades in the last 24 hours, says a trader. There's talk of several well known funds checking EUR/JPY this morning and some are saying Thursday liquidation of sterling longs was a result of one side of carry trades being cut. UK bank trader also mentions an article in Thursday's Financial Times that suggests Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway fame has made a new bet in the currency markets in one currency, with odds favoring that it's long of JPY.


btw - I saw a few reports of big stops in USDJPY below 119.50 - that said it migh reach 118.90

USDJPY looks to be the driver for another exploration into negative territory for GBPJPY. This should be the last leg while Cable benefits slightl;y from the rotation around the cross. Yen should reach around 119.50 before a retracement but it may spillover to 119.30 area. The Cross looks like it will try for contra players stops and take it into the 236.60 range. From there we should get some bounce where i hope to sell the rally.

Sharp eye , you spotted the 2nd brewed indicator , yes, it's already up , (comparatively to the "normal macd") ..

GBP$ , is really on dangerous ground , it's short in all time frames but weekly , a bad close here , and into next week it might keep running loose.

AUD needs to regain 8320 too..Maybe the markets will cool down and start ranging for a few months(thus being peaky atm), not something to forget , they have tendency for doing that..

ATM there is quite a fight :

Daily signals are short (FOR the us$ , apart for the $/CAD who is still short) :
e.g
GBP$ 2.0040 short daily , meanwhile weekly still long 1.9500..
Same goes for EUR$...In this sense only my prevailing winning positions are kept, stops are tightened (no more gbp$ at all , either short or long atm)..

-US/CAD stops for the shorts now at 1.1155 for the total of the positions , started awhile ago with an avr of 1.1480 (3 adds , last one at 1.1305).

AUDUSD , Dailies shorted .8358 , 4 hours a few hours ago .8312 have raised the stops , as i have none in hands , i might buy a break to the upside above 8320..no buys however done while it's under 8320 , as target for the current daily short is much lower..

The short signal on the weekly might appear depending on the close of today..Quite an important day , as next week it might trigger new positions taken (for me , or for other trenders, thus a price movement..), if the dollar keeps going..
Filtering , filtering...

I tend to agree (especially when it comes to lunch hour spikes); but this was hardly an impulse move (it started last Feb. and really got rolling mid-March). As for size, 300 pips isn't a lot on $Cad - except perhaps over the last year (250 - 300 seems to be about 1 std when taken on a 1 year period on a timeframe -e.g. 12 pts on the monthlies, 52 pts on the weeklies around 260 pts on the dailies given Metatrader's day count...).
FIW, I wouldn't count the trend over - just the easy part - not until it retraces to the first or middle fib level and clearly fails to make the 62% extension downlegs have usually made on $Cad. Or at least met the 4 week rule (by closing above 1.1250 next week)

Goldman Sachs: China at risk of "market euphoria"

UK Alex yes just noticed.......Goldman Sees Gains In China’s Stock Markets As Overextended

In line with comments made by central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the US based investment bank, has stated that a ‘correction’ may be due in Chinese stock markets. With the CSI 300 Index advancing by a whopping 82 percent over the past year, analysts are looking at stock valuations that have completely exceeded earnings potential. Incidentally, the stock market mania has been reflected in the massive amount of new securities account openings over the Golden Week holiday. According to records by the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corp, Chinese investors opened a record 385,121 new accounts last week. Volume has also exceeded past figures, mounting to $48.96 billion. Subsequently, the possibility leaves markets open for another Feburary 27th adjustment that would bring stocks back to correct valuations. For now, however, it seems the only direction for Chinese equities is up.
